Deployment of a Current Research Information System (CRIS) for internal disclosure of research output

In 2012, INBO decided to manage and disclose its research information by integrating its research output (papers, reports) with several other relevant data sources. To this purpose, an implementation project with Atira (Denmark) was started to deploy PURE as Current Research Information System (CRIS). This CRIS is based on the ‘Common European Research Information Format (CERIF)’ which allows a straightforward data exchange among European organisations. The system, however, also offers several useful services to INBO’s own scientific and managerial levels. This paper describes the practical implementation of PURE at INBO, and its main characteristics.
